    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Step 1: To Adjust Brightness

    • Take your mouse pointer to the right flank of the taskbar and hit the Notification icon.

    • Press Expand if the lower part of the Action center is shrunken.
    • The light icon under which percentage of the brightness at present is written avails you the platform from where you can control the brightness.
    • Clicking the Brightness icon either increase or decrease the brilliance of your system screen by 25%. Hence, you are pretty efficient to adjust the brightness on Windows 10 machine from this location.
    Step 2: To Adjust Brightness through Settings.


    • Take your mouse pointer to the
      Settings icon located at the lower part of the start menu.

    • Hit System.

    6. Adjust gamma window prompts. Set the gamma color settings by sliding up or down (as you prefer) the gamma sliders. When you drag the slider upward brightness of your
    desktop enhances and when pull it downward brightness decreases. This is the center step to adjust brightness so perform carefully. Press
    Next button.
